Description

AC/DC Big Band Arrangement of T.N.T.

This AC/DC Big Band Arrangement of T.N.T. by Bill Fulton transforms the classic hard rock song into a full big band feature with male vocal. Written for a traditional large jazz ensemble plus rhythm section, the chart combines the recognizable energy of AC/DC with the power and impact of a complete horn section.

The arrangement is designed for ensembles that want to bring a rock selection into a big band program without losing the drive of the original song. Brass and saxophone writing expands the sound while the rhythm section maintains the strong rock foundation. As a result, the vocalist remains at the center of the performance while the band adds size, color, and excitement.
